Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Local specialities from San Juan for your inflight catering

San Juan Province is Argentine wine country in a rain shadow: vineyards under irrigation, olive groves, and walnut and dried-fruit orchards in the valleys. A private jet menu built here borrows from that table. The inflight menu can open with a chilled board of local cheeses, olives and cured meats, a private jet platter that travels without refrigeration fuss in a cool drawer. Private jet food from the province tends to be dry-climate food: roasted lamb, empanadas sanjuaninas with their characteristic cumin and green onion, and dulce de membrillo, the quince paste that San Juan is known for. Local specialities such as these suit the galley because they re-plate cold or finish in a small oven. Gourmet inflight meals can be built around Cuyo produce, and private jet snacks from the region run to almonds, raisins and olive tapenade. Each dish keeps a clear service note, and the Malbec pairing is decided by the client, not by us. Wherever you fly from SANU, San Juan reads as a destination of its own: slow lunch, strong sun, a menu that stays honest.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport (SANU)

At 1,958 ft with a long, dry runway season, SANU is an airport where heat is the real planning variable, and that shapes every private jet catering order we pack for San Juan. In-flight catering for Cuyo departures leans on chilled plates, empanadas that finish in a galley oven, and fruit from the province's valleys. Business aviation catering at UAQ is coordinated with your handling agent, cabin crew meals are labelled CREW, and executive jet catering stays on the same invoice logic as everything else, ordered separately from the charter. Diplomatic flight catering follows protocol rules set by the protocol office, not the kitchen.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport

A typical business jet brief at SANU is a wine-country trip: a small group, a morning departure, a cabin that needs a light chilled service. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here favour cold boards and a hot course that finishes in the galley oven. VIP flight catering for the principal and charter flight catering for the group come from one kitchen. For luxury inflight catering, our private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around Cuyo produce and the aircraft's galley.

State visit aircraft catering into San Juan starts with protocol, not the menu. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are cleared in advance, VIP aviation catering is packed apart from regular orders, and the whole load is documented for your handling agent.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport

Special meals at San Juan are written around the local kitchen, where flour, nuts and dairy turn up in more dishes than a menu suggests: empanada dough, walnut toppings, cheese in the filling. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders are handled as a procedure, with separate boards and sealed boxes, and kids meals follow the same labelling. Tell us the restrictions and the seat plan, and each tray is marked to match the card in the galley.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport

When the crew waits on the ground at San Juan, crew catering on request makes the wait easier, billed as any other line. Crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals are packed in crew meal boxes that stay sealed until the break, cockpit meals are kept simple and eaten fast, and different meals for pilots mean the captain and first officer never share a dish. Cabin crew meals at SANU ride in their own marked box, so nobody in the galley mistakes them for a passenger course.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport

At San Juan, catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with your handling agent, who opens the right gate. FBO catering for the general aviation terminal and ground handling catering for the ramp are one coordination, and handling agent catering stays on the slot you give us.

FBOHandling agentGround handlerGA terminal

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport (UAQ)

SANU handles business aviation of modest size, so the aircraft type decides how a galley catering order reaches the cabin. A turboprop or light jet takes cases by hand; a larger cabin may need a high loader at the door, and airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent. We plan aircraft provisioning around the door height, the galley layout and the oven you actually have, so the order arrives in the form the cabin can store.

About the airportSANU / UAQ

Aviation catering and business aviation at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport (UAQ)

Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport serves San Juan, the capital of its province, and airport catering here supports a small but steady general aviation flow. Business aviation arrives for wine tourism, mining visits and provincial business, and FBO services and ground handling services are straightforward on a field that is rarely congested.

Business aviation

San Juan is a business aviation hub of the quiet kind: executive jet catering for visiting principals, inflight catering for wine-route groups, and in-flight catering for crews staging through the province. Aviation catering and business aviation catering here are shaped by sun, dry air and slow weekends, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled through protocol.

Customs & food import

Argentina regulates the import and export of food through its agriculture and customs authorities, with tight rules on fresh meat, dairy and plant products. Ordering locally from San Juan keeps the load simple at the aircraft, and your handling agent can confirm what is allowed for your destination.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“The 9 passenger portions of vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection were the easy part; managing an evening cabin service at Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport took more planning. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the starters could be arranged during service. We could finish the salads as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. For our team, the strongest part of their in-flight catering was how they handled portion planning.”

★★★★☆GOVERNMENT

“A request for a charcuterie board and fresh bread, 2 passengers, and a revised passenger count: that was our brief for the departure at SANU. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the salads clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. The quantities of desserts matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. I would discuss vip inflight catering with them again, especially when meal organisation needs careful coordination.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Keeping the galley organised at UAQ meant planning smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 2 guests with an evening cabin service in mind. I wanted clear identification on the desserts; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. My main takeaway from this private jet catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. The starters were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

What crews ask before San JuanAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered from San Juan?+

If you plan the return from the start, a single brief covers both legs and keeps pricing simple: ingredients like local lamb or stone fruit cost more than seasonal salads or cheese boards. For San Juan, quince and olives sit at the friendly end of the budget.

What is the lead time for catering at San Juan SANU?+

A longer stop lets us plan a hot course; a tight one pushes the menu to cold and ready-to-serve items. Lead time here is about matching food to the ground time, and we handle late changes.

How do customs rules affect catering on a long leg from San Juan with two services on board?+

For a two-service sector out of SANU, we keep the order within what customs expects and label each course by service. Argentine rules on animal and plant products matter most when the leg crosses a border.

Can you bring food of your own to San Juan in this season?+

You can, but San Juan's season changes the answer: summer heat shortens how long food keeps, and a weather hold stretches it further. Ordering from us keeps the load fresh and customs-clean.

Is catering part of a charter into San Juan?+

Not as a rule. A private jet charter covers the aircraft; food is its own order here. If the crew is waiting out duty time in San Juan, we plan crew meals around that gap.
